    Living Faith

    This is an easy one. Do you believe that Jesus is without sin? Do you are abide in Him who is without sin? or do you follow a sinful Christ? If we abide in Christ we don't adhere to a perfectionism belief...we LIVE His perfect kind of Life through our location...which is in Him. Our perfection...

    Living Faith

    Is the grace initial because we inevitably fall from it? We are given a taste of divine life. We experience what it means to be alive in the real eternal sense(if we have really been born from above). Then we are tempted to come back and live in this world as any other person...as we once did...

    Living Faith

    People have to figure this out. Either Jesus has sin in Him...meaning we can abide IN Christ and still sin...OR In Him is NO sin and we are safe there as a refuge from the things of this world which are of sin. But you can't have it both ways to the advantage of the flesh. If we sin it is...

    Living Faith

    A person with beliefs doesn't need a living God. The belief or imagination is held onto by the power of the flesh. But a living faith doesn't work unless God is alive and brings His peace...

    Living Faith

    A person who walks in their beliefs is walking with a confidence in the flesh and their 3 pound brain. A person can have NO beliefs but instead walks by faith in God. So then a living faith only states in the moment what God is doing and saying. There is no static belief. A Christian is to...

    Living Faith

    Then that person is not religious but a seeker of truth. Faith begins in doubt and exercises doubt in a healthy way. Faith seeks the truth. Belief thinks it already has all the truth and resists everything that doesn't already line up with that way of thinking.

    Living Faith

    You have fully misunderstood the gospel my friend (of). Grace is the gift of the power to walk as Jesus walked. It is NOT a license to sin and get away with it. We believe in God who justifies people from all parts of the world. The ungodly are the sinners of the world...and other religions...

    Workers of the flesh will not inherit eternal life

    Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. Being under grace gives us the power OVER sin...otherwise we are still under the law. Our hope is walking in the resurrection power of Christ to walk AS HE DID on earth...which is by grace through faith.

    Workers of the flesh will not inherit eternal life

    A false message meaning the bible? Why don't people realize that their understanding is way off when someone posts a bible verse and people think he is in error?

    Workers of the flesh will not inherit eternal life

    Grace is the power to walk as Jesus walked...otherwise you are still under the law. There is no such thing as an immune sinner. A person who sins is under the law. A person who lives by grace is OVER the law. Grace is the power OVER sin. That is how we know we are walking by grace or in our...

    I am speaking in regards to the truth. An indoctrinated person learns more about his indoctrination....not away from it.

    The Little Book of Rev. 10

    There is an amazing parallel to this warning (which few if any will heed) found in Zech. 5 with the "flying scroll." One one side of the scroll is written....the thieves will be cut off. This fits with Jesus' saying that they who seek to enter to the sheepfold (the church) but without going...

    Why are our ordained pastors so ignorant of Scripture?

    People are seeking a connection with God...an eternal kind of life. But people get pep talks and information. In order to impart life, one needs to speak from life. From faith to faith.

    Why are our ordained pastors so ignorant of Scripture?

    It isn't so much being ignorant of scripture...a lot of people know chapter and verse quite thoroughly. But it's the comprehension of the bible that is lacking to an amazing degree. Most modern ministers are regurgitating what they have leaned from other people. Very few have any real connection...

    Living Faith

    A person with religious beliefs is not teachable. Go find some indoctrinated person...now try teaching that person something that goes against his indoctrination...good luck.

    Living Faith

    Grace comes with a very high responsibility. To whom much is given MORE (not less) is required.

    The 2 Levels of Holiness

    In a time of watered down doctrines speaking the truth becomes a revolutionary act! At one time, calling people into a deeper holiness was seen as a good thing. No longer....

    The 2 Levels of Holiness

    What I write is not like the teachings that are meant to be mindlessly believed and memorized so common these days. They are to challenge us to go further into Christ...a horror for many I realize. But the doctrines I teach are very old....and found in the bible. It's just that deeper truths are...

    Is Debating Good For Our Soul? (part 2)

    ...not to doubtful disputations. Iron sharpens iron...but there is a limit.

    Just curious.......

    A good example of this is the tithing issue...also called first fruits. Since in the OT it was crops, oil and such, many choose to ignore the idea in principle. They say that we no longer have to tithe because we aren't farmers. But the first fruits of our increase...well nowadays the only way...
